A little about them

Charlie Bones, also known as Charles Skeleton, is a sweet three-legged dog looking for a patient, understanding home. He enjoys car rides, walks, chewing, sunshine, soft beds, grooming, squeaky toys, bubbles, and interactive enrichment. He has warmed up to the staff and can become a loyal companion with time and trust.

Charlie can be sensitive and reactive to new people, noises, movement, especially men, sudden household sounds, and triggers on walks. He may freeze and scan before needing gentle encouragement and treats to continue. He shows strong interest in other dogs and may benefit from a calm canine companion.

Ideal Home

Charlie needs a patient adopter who can help him build confidence, trust, and emotional regulation. He may do well with a calm canine companion.

Ongoing Health

Charlie is three-legged following an amputation. He enjoys having his left ear and side rubbed and scratched because he cannot reach them himself. His thick, long coat may cause him to run hot, and he likes resting near an indoor fan.

Training & Support

Charlie knows Sit, Drop It, Leave It, Wait, and Okay / Let’s Go. He is learning Down and No More. Gentle encouragement and treats help him through moments when he freezes or becomes uncertain.
